Host of The Emerald and animism teacher Josh Schrei joins me to explore topics that span existential questions to practical rituals. We look at what it means to be alive in a world teeming with distractions, the role of myth in modern life, and the tension between liberalism and animism. Josh shares his take on mental health, the importance of authentic connection, and why mindfulness and yoga sometimes fall short. From the Goddess to eco-terrorism, AI to stages of consciousness, we touch on what it means to live fully in a world of ever-increasing complexity. Plus, Josh shares his thoughts on the best myths to pass down to future generations - because we all need a good story to tell.
